Frogs and flathead catfish

Ok Guys. Last night on the scioto i ran out of creek chubs and blue gills so i started throwing frogs. Big ol bullfrogs at that...I would cut one leg off and give em enough line to get some panic action going on. It was quit strange, I would get a real nice hit. Then they would drop it. Smart idea or should i leave the bullfrogs alone?

bait is bait in my book, but i would take more chubs n gills next time. when we get low on bait we start cuttingum in half then thirds. after that you call a bro and have them bring there stockpile. lol

Strange I saw this post because my bro-n-law and sister caught some nice cat's on the little leopard frogs no long ago...She caught several nice channels and bass while he caught a few nice channels and 2 flatheads....all on the frogs they caught jumping around on shore. They had ran out of worms and decided to give them a try. I have caught some nice cat's on tadpoles....the big bull frog ones on limblines.

Yeah my bait is kinda limited to the regular goldfish, Creek chubs, Leeches and etc. I've always know to catch my flatties on live things big live things. I mean I really have no selection around this part of ohio...So i guess i would bullfrogs a try and they kind of worked but they would release

make sure you know your state's wildlife regs. a lot of states have possession limits on bullfrogs, and rules on what you can or can't do with them. like in tx, i catch bullfrogs on rod and reel with a plastic worm, which is considered fishing. but once i have that frog in my hand, i have to have a hunting license to posess it. same with turtles. just lookin out for ya!:big_smile:
